For the Dough:
- 160 ml warm milk (5.4 oz)
- 1½ tsp instant yeast
- 50 g melted butter (¼ cup)
- 1 egg, room temperature
- 65 g granulated sugar (⅓ cup)
- 330 g all-purpose flour (2 ¾ cups)
- ½ tsp salt
For the Filling:
- 70 g softened butter (⅓ cup)
- 145 g brown sugar (¾ cup)
- 1 ½ tbsp cinnamon
- 50 ml heavy cream (for pouring over the rolls)
For the Frosting:
- 110 g cream cheese (4 oz)
- 50 g softened butter (¼ cup)
- 120 g powdered sugar (1 cup)
Instructions:
- Begin by adding yeast, sugar, melted butter, and one egg to the warm milk. Mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix the flour and salt. Gradually incorporate this into the wet mixture to form a dough. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour.
- Knead the dough for about 5 minutes. Place it in a floured bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size.
- Prepare the filling by combining the softened butter, cinnamon, and brown sugar.
- Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle. Spread the filling evenly over the dough, then roll it up. Cut into about 8 pieces using dental floss.
- Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Place the rolls in a baking pan, spaced 3-5 cm (1-2 inches) apart. Pour the heavy cream over them and bake for 20-22 minutes.
- For the frosting, mix cream cheese, softened butter, and powdered sugar until smooth.
- Once the rolls are baked and slightly cooled, spread the frosting over them.
Serve and enjoy these heavenly cinnamon rolls, a gooey and delightful treat that's sure to become a favorite!
